In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back and this week we're talking about more MLS news! First we're talking about DC United sacking Troy Lesesne and already having his replacement ready immediately in René Weiler. Next we talk about the rumor of Rodrigo de Paul coming over to Inter Miami to join Messi and friends, but how will they do that with the salary cap restrictions. Lastly we end things off with the revival of the Cosmos, but not exactly the NY Cosmos. Let us know your thoughts!
